Video captured one McDonald's worker attacking another employee during an argument Sunday night at a Delray Beach store.
The customer was eating dinner Monday night at a McDonald's restaurant off Military Trail and Atlantic Avenue and caught the fight on a cellphone camera.
Witnesses said a group of employees were arguing when one employee lost her temper, went behind the counter and apparently started throwing punches and pulling the hair of a coworker.
Jeff Nelson, a customer, saw the video on social media and referred to it as "strange."
"(It) seemed a little crazy to me for the employees to be fighting with each other," Nelson said. "Hopefully they fire the people that started the fight and get on with their business."
The Delray Beach Police Department said one employee, Jennifer Daout, was arrested.
"We are shocked by the behavior in this video," Ricky Wade, the owner and operator of the McDonald's restaurant, said. "It is absolutely unacceptable. We are looking into the matter and will take the appropriate actions.
